The series from Aweme is very interesting, showing great 

 variation in colour, and length of tegmina and ovipositor. Some 

 individuals ajiproach N. maculatus Blatchl., from Indiana, in all 

 these characters, and are scarcely distinguishable except by the 

 longer and more numerous hairs of the pronotum, but, as a rule, 

 the ovipositor is distinctly longer than in N. maculatus.

Ot the four females from Aweme, the two whicli I have 

 placed under var. abbreviatus are somewhat smaller than typical 

 examples of this form, but the ovii)osiior is relatively quite as 

 long as in the latter. The specimen taken in June is decidedly 

 of the Peunsylvanicus type, while the fourth one is about inter- 

 mediate between these two varieties. 



The following measurements show the relation between the 

 length of the ovipositor and hind femora in these four specimens : 



Date of capture. Length of ovipositor. Length of hind femora.
